No one will say so, but 27-year-old Australian beauty Jessica Hart will no longer be used as a model for Victoria’s Secret after she dissed Taylor Swift, who performed on the runway in a leg-baring outfit during the lingerie giant’s Nov. 13 fashion show.
Asked at the afterparty at Tao if the pop star could “pull it off” as a lingerie model, Hart told WWD: “No… God bless her heart. I think she’s great… But I don’t know, to me, she didn’t fit.”
Five days later, Hart — who, unlike Miranda Kerr and Karlie Kloss, is not one of the company’s elite “supermodels” — tried to make amends, telling Us Weekly, “I adore Taylor Swift and I was so excited to be with her at the Victoria Secret Fashion Show… She is a true rock star and she absolutely killed it the other night.”
But the damage was done. Sources say execs at Victoria’s Secret are furious, and won’t be inviting Hart to walk in next year’s show. The gorgeous blonde also won’t be seen in the brand’s upcoming catalogs.
